MBCN Signals & Forecast
The Middlefield Banc Corp. stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $30.93 and $30.00. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, November 06, 2024, and so far it has fallen -7.46%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Middlefield Banc Corp. stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $28.42 and $28.20. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Middlefield Banc Corp. finds support just below today's level at $28.42. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $28.20 and $27.63.
This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved $0.570 between high and low, or 1.85%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.84%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $29.84 (-3.74%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 20 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (MBCN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 6th we expect Middlefield Banc Corp. to open at $31.04, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $29.94 and $32.06, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.06 (+/-3.41%) up or down from last closing price. If Middlefield Banc Corp. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.82% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $32.44 (4.65%) than the support at $28.42 (8.32%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
